The Rocky Mountain News reviews
the troublo between the cattlemen and
forestry officials In the following
manner:
Chief Glfford Plnchot of the bureau
of forestry at Washington Is about to
apply to the federnl courts for an In
junction restraining alt stockmen in
Colorado from permitting their cattle
to graze upon forest reserves without
permits. Should these proceedings
be successful the stockmen would be
forced to pay fees for the permits or
keep their cattle fenced or close
herded. In the event of their failing
to comply they would have the
whole machinery of the government
working against them and would be
placed In Jail.
The action of the cattlemen In
western Colorado In signing an agree
ment to pay no more fees for grazing
on forest reserves Is likely to prove
contagious despite Plnchot's plan.
Stock organizations over the state are
arranging for meetings to take simi
lar action and the nntlonnl forest ser
vice Is up ngalnst a hard proposition.
The forest service has been acting
under the permission given the sec
retary of agriculture by congress to
make rates and regulations for the
protection and government of the re
serves, one of the regulations made
was to charge a fee for grazing.
Another regulation was to make It
a criminal offense or a stockman to
permit his animals to graze lipon a
reserve without permission. Recent
decisions of the federnl courts have
been to the effect thnt the secretary
of agriculture has no right to mnke
it a criminal offense for livestock to
graze without permit on a reserve.
The stockmen take the position that
the fee charged for grazing Is In ef.
feet a tax nnd that the secretary has
no authority to levy or collect such
a tax.
As the mntter now stands the only
rerourse the forest service has Is to
bring suit against the owner of stock
found In a reserve for damages. It
will be necesary to prove the damage
done to the reserve.
Under the stnte law, cattle drifting
upon unfoneed lnnd does not consti
tute trespass. The stockmen take the
position that the government Is In
the same position as private land own
ers ami must either fence the re
serves or permit their use by drifting
oattle.

Ynklma Official's Experience Is Sug
gostlwt; One of the busiest mea In the city
these dHys is tx-Sheriff Ronald Grant.
Deputy Grant Is the truant officer for
school district No. 7. says the Yakima
Republic. Me say it Is astonishing
he number of children that should
be In school, but are not compelled to
go by their parents, and consequently
are loafing around town on the
streets and getting Into mischief.
"In the last three weeks," said the
officer, "I have gathered up about 47
children between the ages- of 10 and
14, and have compelled their parent
to send them to school. I' found In a
great many cases that the reason
tPrso children were not being sent to
fci'hr ol was because they were working;
out and earning 25 or 40 cents a day
for tin- funllly Several of the fami
lies I had to threaten with prosecu
tion before they agreed to obey the
school law. In one day I succeeded
In gathering up 11 truants. They are
all now In school. There Is enough
work In this district to keep one
truant officer busy all the time," con
cluded the sheriff.
"There Is another matter that I
wish to call to the attention of the
citizens of this community," said Mr.
Grant, "and that Is the great need In
the community for a thoroughly or
ganized humane society. I have
spoken of this matter on previous oc
ctttons, and some move was taken In
the matter, but It seems to have been
dropped lately. I should like to see
the matter pushed, and a humane
society organised."
